Protein
Alanine--glyoxylate aminotransferase 2, mitochondrial
Organism
Rattus norvegicus
Function
Can metabolize asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) via transamination to alpha-keto-delta-(NN-dimethylguanidino) valeric acid (DMGV). ADMA is a potent inhibitor of nitric-oxide (NO) synthase, and this activity provides mechanism through which the kidney regulates blood pressure (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the class-III pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.
